The New Orleans Pelicans (24-40) played and ultimately lost a fun one against the Memphis Grizzlies (39-26). Both teams were without key players, and the game was sloppy. The Pelicans lost an early lead, overcame a decent deficit, could not avoid overtime, then just fell victim to a combination of luck, defense, and some Grizzlies players who were having career nights. The game was tied at 99 before the oddly high-scoring overtime, with the final score being 121-114.
Well, let’s see what I said in the pregame:
JaMychal Green can go off. Stephenson can steal the keys and run the Pelicans over.
